Time: 3 Hours Max. Marks: 80

Note: Answer any ONE question from Part-A

And any THREE questions from Part-B
-----

PART- A (32 marks)

1. Design an R.C box culvert having inside dimensions 3m x 3m, to carry a live –
load of 50 KN/m2 and a superimposed dead load of 10 KN/m2. Take the density
of soil as 16 KN/m3 and angle of repose 300 use M : 20 grade concrete and Fe 415
grade TOR steel. (Consider any one load case ) (24)
Draw the C.S. of the box culvert showing the details of reinforcement. (8)

2. A steel foot bridge of effective span 16m, has clear width of 2.5m and timber
plank flooring for a live load of 4 KN/m2 . Design the most heavily stressed one
top chord member, one bottom chord member, one inclined member and one
vertical member. There are 8 panels of 2m each. The height of truss is 1.8m.
Cross-girders are provided at panel points. (24)
Draw the details to a suitable scale. (8)

PART-B (16 x 3=48 marks)

3. Design a concrete chimney of 40m height of external dia. 3m throughout. The

chimney is to be designed for wind pressure in Bombay area. The temperature
difference is 650C. Use M25 grade concrete and Fe 415 grade steel. Sketch the
details of reinforcement. (16)

4. The dimensions of an Intze-tank are as follows:

Top dome: central rise = 1.25m
Cylindrical portion : dia = 6m, height = 3m.
Conical bottom : bottom dia = 3m, height = 2m.
Bottom down : central rise = 1m
Design the conical bottom using M : 20 grade concrete and Fe-250 grade steel.
Sketch the reinforcement details. (16)

5. For the data given in Q No.4, design the bottom spherical dome. Find the
capacity of tank. Sketch the reinforcement details. (16)

6. A flight of stairs is to be provided for an office building. It is supported by a

stringer beam on one edge and brick wall on the other. The effective horizontal
span of the stairs is 1.6m. Design the steps. Sketch the reinforcement details.(16)

7.a) With the help of neat sketches illustrate the following:

i) Line of nosing
ii) Winders
iii) Soffit
iv) Going
v) Rise (8)

b) What are the general design considerations for a good stair? (8)
